Remove RMI-based agent-proxy mechanism.
It was discovered that, in certain configurations, the Thermostat agent
disclosed JMX management URLs of all local Java virtual machines to any
local user. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to escalate
their privileges on the system. (CVE-2014-8120)
